Thanks all for the info.

Well I've seen yours - that is if you're the guy at the kitchen outfit?
And i've definitely seen at least one more at tescos up the road
Also saw one at the pub on Cambridge Science park the other week.

Used to work in MK a while back - its a fair jaunt tho compared to Peterborough/Cambridge isnt it? Is there a reason you dont use either of them?

Cheers

 

sorry arron , saw a 2 foot scoobydoo in a WR1 coming out of macdonalds by tesco on Saturday . Now I know it wasn't you ( he didnt wave either )

 

hi
had mine last oil change at donalds. They cleaned it nicely, charged me for a hire car, but didn't tighten the filter up properly so it leaked oil , which eventually found its way onto the heatsheild.... need i say more...

 

No! - I got my one from Westaway in Spratton a couple of months ago - they've been very good with a couple of minor problems - and the drive there can certainly be entertaining if you use the correct route!

 

On the ICE front, I think it will depend on what you want done. If you're looking for a simple install done at a reasonable price the give DAP in Cambridge (Newmarket Road) a call (01223 365064) I've sent quite a few cars over there for simple installs (they've just done the screen and amp in my 54 plate WRX) and they do a really nice job. If you're looking something a bit more complex, I think you'll be better off with somewhere offering more bespoke services.

As for the servicing, mine has only done 5k miles, so I've only had the 1k mile service so far, but it went to Welch's. I took it there rather than to Donalds because my old man bought Welch's Ex-demo car back in 98 and always had it serviced there. The level of service has always been great, so I decided to stick with what I know!!!

Its nice to see that we have a damn fine collection of Scoobs in our little area.

 

That is me too.

 

Sorry definatley not me

 

Thats me and it`ll be mine at Tesco`s too feeding my face!!!
I chenged from Welch`s basically cos Milton Keynes supplied the car and nothing appears to be too much trouble whereas Welch`s dont even clean your car for you and never have!!!!
I have used them for Years and never had trouble tho so cant be unfair.
Drew at Milton Keynes is just a little more switched on that Julian

 

If you want to see the job Gary did on my car I`m based in Huntingdon so give me a shout.
But dont forget you get what you pay for.

 

Hmmm, maybe I'll book mine in there for its 10k service then!

Just got rid of my VW Golf PD150, and the service from VeeDub was awesome - car was always valeted upon return.

I was most upset last month when Scoob emerged from Service bay as dirty as when he went in!!!

 

Well I`m used to mine being dirty too after having used Welch`s for Years. I did own a few BM`s in between and was used to a service wash and was refreshed to see Drew organising my car to be cleaned as part of its service at Milton Keynes.
They also fitted without charge a few bits and bobs for me that I actually supplied.
Great service.

 

Ok, you've sold me!!!

Now, what's this interesting route to MK?

 

I would say Bedord bypass the n turn right after Marston through cranfield very nice.

 

Definitely not you at tesco's cus you're plate is fairly distinctive and I would have recognised it!

I might nip down to your showroom sometime with my new motor as I might be interested in a new kitchen soon ;-) However, looking at the cars you seem to have had, I don't think you'll be cheap enough for a tight b@stard like me ;-)

 

sounds like it
know your car now arron , my mate runs dispensing automation accross the road from you. there is always a black octavia rs at your place too.

 

There is but not so much now as the sales guy has just bought it from me and I have given him a C2 diesel!!!!

 

If you can afford to buy from somewhere else you can afford to buy from me.
We offer the "FULL" service not a bit of a one with everything extra
30 Years trading Familly bizz.
Two showrooms one here the other at Bedford.
I used to get a lot of "I cant afford you" comments when I had my M3 it was quite rewarding proving to folk.
I`d like to think I have a good car cos I`m good at my job.
My advise to you wherever you shop is to be realistic on your "OVERALL" budget and stick to a KBSA member.

I'm a Hunts scoobynetter, without a scoob

 

What do you drive then??!!

 

yeah, what are you doing on here without a scoob Kel?

 

I'm in Huntingdon too, but as I work locally you'll normally only see me in the scoob when I'm on my way out of town!

Joolz - do you drive to the station? I've passed a green classic turning in there a couple of times.

There seems to be a DBM classic working at the hospital now, and there's another classic (can't remember the colour) at a small engineering firm in Godmanchester. There's a WR blue STi that parks outside a small unit on the hill and I've seen another WR blue STi driving round the ring road a few times. I think there's a WR blue UK300 in Brampton - and I think I followed the same one through Cambridge tonight. I've also seen a red classic driving past the hospital a couple of times - I think it's on the one of the new estates.


Finally

Anyone fancy a curry meet at the Maharajah in Huntingdon? Or just a meet?


M

 

As far as I can tell: gazing out of the window at Spittals...


M

 

Sounds like a plan
I am taking over as Cambridgeshire Regional Organiser for SIDC in the new year if anyone is interested in a big meet for the new year ?!

 

I'm up for that!

 

Same here !

 

Anyone got any ideas for a venue? Need somewhere with plenty (?) of car parking.


M

 

meet sounds good. I drive past the station (bus and train) everyday on may way to work, classic M reg green wagon.

 

I sometimes take our wagon to work in Brampton...I'm usually in my MX5....sometimes get overtaken by a Blue Scooby that joinds the A1 at Brampton Hut in the mornings about 7.45 ish

 

Anyone else up for a meet sometime ??

 

I'm deffo up for a meet, and if we can combine it with food consumption, I'll be first to arrive and last to leave
